● Wipe the base with a damp cloth.
● Keep all connectors and sockets dry.
● Do not immerse the kettle or kettle stand in liquid.
● Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
● The filter can also occasionally be removed to gentllly wipe with a wet cloth and rinse under running
water. The filter is fragile and needs to be handled with care.
We recommend that you descale your kettle regularly, even in soft water areas. Lime scale may be white,
coloured, or even rusty looking, but it is normally visible. Phosphate scale is not generally visible, but there is
always a build-up, even in soft water areas. Any build-up of scale causes overheating, which reduces the life of
the element, and may trigger the boil-dry cut-out to engage. Descale at least monthly, to help keep your kettle
in working order.
To descale your kettle:
● Use a descaler suitable for plastic products (all kettles have plastic parts). Follow the instructions on the
descaler, then rinse several times, fill, boil and discard the water to remove all chemical residues.
● Products returned under guarantee with faults related to scale will be subject to a repair charge.
● If you notice your kettle getting noisier – descale it.
● Do not rely on visible scale, as phosphate scale is not visible. Rather descale the kettle for preventative
purposes.
Removing mineral deposits
● Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits which may form on the interior metal parts of the
kettle.
● To get the best performance from your kettle, descale your kettle from time to time. Frequency depends
on the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the kettle.
● We suggest use of a kettle descaler in order to dissolve chalky deposits or scale.
● Follow the directions on the descaler package. If a commercial descaler is not available, fill the kettle
with enough white vinegar to cover the bottom by about 1.5cm. Bring the vinegar to a boil. You may
need to repeat this several times with cooled vinegar to remove the calcium build-up completely. When
the descaling process is complete, empty the kettle and rinse out several times with clean water.
STORING THE APPLIANCE
● Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and clean all the parts as instructed above. Ensure that all
parts are dry before storing.
